Notice of Change to Use of Funds

Support Fund

Early in 2020, many of you generously donated money to help those who were struggling financially as a result of the Covid Pandemic. We have been able to help a number of people in different ways over the past 18 months+, and I know they are grateful for your generosity at such a difficult time. We still have some money in this fund and the trustees would now like to extend who we help by changing the criteria to helping those facing hardship for any reason (not just covid).

Youth Equipment Fund

We still have some money in this fund which although was raised a few years ago, we have not been able to use for its intended purpose. The trustees would therefore like to use the money in this fund to be used for more general youth expenses.

Homeless Fund

Finally, we still have a very small amount in this fund which has lain dormant for a number of years. The Trustees would like to put this money into the Support Fund to continue to help those in need.

As we want to change the intended purpose of each of these 3 funds, we are required (and rightly so) to notify those of you who gave towards these and give you the opportunity to object if you are not happy for your donation(s) to be used in these proposed ways. Should this be the case for any of them, then please let Paula Bower know ASAP (paula@bognorvineyard.org.uk). Thank you.
